A NOTED CASE DECIDED.
The Supreme Court Of the state Rem
ders Decision Against the city Of
Moline in the Celebrated Bridge

Moline in the Celebrated Bridge
Litigation.
Moline must pay the long contested
tax imposed by the board of supervisors
on the Rock river bridge The supreme
court of the state has decided So An
order has been received from the clerk of
the supreme court, stating that IN the
matter of the application of State Auditor
Charles p Swigert for an order affirming
the order of the county board of Rock
Island county, in relation to the taxation
of the Rock river bridge, the application
is granted and the order affirmed.
The tax extended against the bridge
for 1886. by South Moline. was valua-
ton of 81. 900, and amounted to $127 80,
of which only $3.50 goes to the town
ship for road purposes. This year they
levy d town and district tax in addition
to that levied in 1885, and the tax will
thus be increased TO something like $500,
which will be quite an item, considering
that the tolls have in the past been suffl-
Gent to pay the bridge expenses. without
tax. The bridge originally cost the city
in 1875. the sum of $500. 1t
had to be substantially rebuilt
shortly thereafter and it has blown
in the river once since then, neces.
stating another rebuilding at cost OF
$4,000. The expense of maintaining the
| bridge. together with interest on the
bonds, has amounted TO 81 065 per an
| mum. while the income has been but
| 81, 437. So, showing an annual loss of
| 1927 to the city in the past, to which tax
es must be added in the future Add to
city has still outstanding 1913, $50 of
bonds due on the bridge, and the desira>
biiity of selling it for considerable less
than nothing will be apparent.
Until few years ago the narrow-
guaSe railway people useu IT, anu re-
turned the city an income therefor.
They carried coal over it to the narrow
guage railway depot just outside the city
limits, and enabled the people of Moline
to ge; all the soft coal they wanted de-
livered at their homes or business places
for 90 and 10 cents per bushel. Since
the coal has been carried longer distances
by team. it has cost i cents per bushel.
There is a rumor that the railway people
are willing to bring coal to the city limits
again. il they are allowed the use of the
bridge at reasonable rental, and that
they will use it in manner that will not
shut off other travel across it. 1t will
cost them considerable money to put their
track this side of the bridge in good re-
pair again. but it is learned 'hey are viii.

of which he was one of the earliest of

Gavitt made few Introductory remarks
before beginning his sermon proper, al
luding to the real pleasure it gave him to
visit the scene of his labors of over q
half century ago, and of the satisfaction
it gave him to be able to preach again
before his life ended, to the people oil
this delightful city. He told briefly Of
his early life spent among the Indians OF
Canada. Ohio and Michigan and in the
vicinity of Chicago, which. he said, hat
been called Skunk town when he frs
knew the place, and incredible as it nigh
seem, was the same yet for Chicago wa
